Enter La Basílica de la Sagrada Família
Past the glories of art and color and light
There is a tower
It is dark inside, and the path is difficult
Inside the tower
There is a stairway
It transports you to the heavens
Or, if you want to get closer yet to the divine,
To a landing, where, catching your breath
You see the Pigeon Maria
She is sitting on a nest of her own device
She is as proud as the pieces of wood she has arranged into holy formation
Sacred, still, she nestles beneath her
All that is plain
All that is life
All that is coming
